Hornets changing name to Pelicans. New Pelicans logo revealed

[BuffaloBill]

So are they officially the "Pelicans?" Or do they become the Pelicans once the season is over? I hope the new jerseys are gold. That would be pretty cool. Red and Blue are used too much.

And you all hated the nets logo!? Haaaaa

Thats nice as hell. Still dont dig the name though.

[no pun intended]

called a fleur de lis (or lily flower)

Plus, it has been used by the Hornets for awhile now.

Techincally, that symbol is much older. The Nazi's borrowed it from older civ's.






You can even go farther back than the Romans, the egyptians used it too.

LOL from the article:


Um, no, the nickname is not widely accepted. It sucks. Their logo sucks, their name sucks, and their color scheme sucks.

Bombers, Marshals, Tornados, Outlaws; anything is better than the "Thunder."

All the names yiou listed are lame af. haha

Like the logo and colors, but like others have said, the name still needs to grow on me.

New Orleans Hornets Owner Tom Benson announced today that at the conclusion of the 2012-13 season, the name of the team will become the New Orleans Pelicans. A name that will represent the culture and resolve of the Gulf Coast region while also symbolizing Louisiana

So they are basically using the color scheme that the Cavs had before LeBron left? I like.
